“Genji’s stealthy combat moves, sleek design, and fusion between man and machine offers so much in the way of inspiration. Ultimately, I chose a composition that would put him into a menacing stance paired with threatening glow of the giant dragon summoned during his Dragonblade ability.”

“Symmetra is an interesting, attractive character with a unique design and drawing her was a fascinating experience. I’ve always liked such characters, that’s why it was a pleasure to fulfill this commision.”

“Pharah’s stylish hair and mech suit are my favorite things about her. It was challenging drawing her from this angle, but the feeling of looking up at her while taking in the details of her character made it all worth it!”

“I always find it extremely fun to draw the characters that are somewhat outside the norm for me. I’m used to drawing super physically fit characters, so the overall design and anatomy of Roadhog looked wickedly fun for me. A welcomed change of pace!”

“I love everything related to the old west! It is always great to find a character like the gunslinger Jesse McCree, an anachronic classical western outlaw in the ScFi themed game of Overwatch. Not only because he has a lot of personality, but also he offers a nice contrast between technology and the classic western icons. I had a really nice time painting this piece, playing with the concept of a character that can be very good at aiming, but also to show he is good to evade and run.”

“I grew up on Blizzard games as a young teen, being a big fan of Diablo 1-3. Now being able to paint one of their characters for their latest game, Overwatch is now a personal notch I can check off. Thank you for this awesome opportunity.”

“When drawing this character, I had a ton of fun playing with the idea that this is a spiritual robot with a faith, I had wanted to create an image that makes people think "ethereal", a robotic god of sorts. He should look like he’s at one with the universe. Or at least trying for it. It’s a very different character type, “Robotic Monk” is a unique descriptor. Very fun to draw.”

“I immediately thought of extreme sports like snowboarding or rollerblading. The sports and the athletes movements really helped me with figuring out the pose for him along with other inspirational characters from past early 2000’s games, which I was really fond of when I was young. He has surprisingly a lot of detail which proved difficult drawing them in angle. Anyways, he was fun to draw!”

“My first impression of Mei was that of an adorable sister that you’d feel comfortable hanging out with. Everything about Mei can be described as cuteness, I really enjoyed painting her chubby cheeks, fluffy coat. My favorite detail is how she holds her pinky finger up when holding a gun, which is such a feminine detail about her. Drawing the weapon was quite a challenge, but fortunately I was able to paint it in my favorite color (blue). All in all it turned out to be a great experience.”

“I was really drawn by his back story, one of such loss and disillusionment. Instead of his usual guns-blazing badass look, I tried to capture the more human side of him that urges him to carry on despite his weariness, bound by duty. Here he is during a moment of repose after a long day.”

“As an avid gamer, I was already anticipating the release of Overwatch. So when I was presented with the opportunity to draw Reinhardt, a character who I was itching to play, I jumped at the chance! I’ve already played many tank-type characters, so I chose to portray him in a way that highlights his role: battle-worn and bravely leading the charge for his team”

“It was an enthralling but challenging experience for me to be able to draw that wasn’t what I usually draw. At first, I was overwhelmed by her strong personality and her complex design but the longer I paint Zarya, the more her design becomes interesting and fun. I learned so much throughout the process of painting Zarya that broaden my knowledge to character designing so I think it was meant that she was my chosen character.”

“Bastion—It’s a very unusual character with interesting story. In my illustration I would like to show Bastion as himself—kind, loving nature and all living things, but still able to stand up for himself and for those he loves. In that episode he saves cute rabbits from danger and he had to use force.”

“Torbjörn is a more defensive weaponsmith character building up lines of turrets to aid his team. But he’s also a badass looking space dwarf with robotic claw and a flame-spewing forge on his back. I thought portraying him in the midst of a raging battle, manning the barricades would fit his character well and I really had fun doing that.”

I'm not a fan of Blizzard at all. I tried WoW but the casual caterig and General lack of care I felt they gave other than "oh look Twitter is connected" mainstream BS - I couldn't respect that. Tbh my life tends to be cute Korean MMOS and competitive like BnS or Mobas like LoL and my hype for Overwatch is unhealthy. I was on the fence but as soon as I played it I instantly fell in love with the dynamically designed maps and colorful characters. Even as an artist myself the inspiration this game exudes is crazy. It won't be everyone's cup of tea but so far none of my friends who love Overwatch as much or more than me are Blizzard fans so I have to disagree.

You have your opinion and I respect it Though for me, personally, it feels, like I said before, that there is so much hype around this game just becasue Blizzard made it. Battleborn is also good and, in my opinion, quite similar game - visuals, gameplay and content; yet there isn't so much noise around it. Hope you see my point of view

Well to start I lost all respect for your comment right after you used Cancer as an adjective. It's a level of ignorance and immaturity that I hope time will purge. I grew up with my mom battling cancer and today is the 1 year anniversary of my father dying of cancer. It is an ugly horrible thing that shouldn't be used to describe a video game. You never know how it has effected others lives who may read this comment and does nothing but make an ass and a fool of you.

Second off I grew up on Saga, I loved my single player adventures and I have experienced every single gaming system. Not all video games will cater to people who don't enjoy what the masses do. The Internet is an age of connection and what better way to connect with friends than playing a great game? Most my friends are long distance because after high school and through college they moved. I appreciate the opportunity to continue to connect with them every day. Even if I didn't have those friends though I wouldn't be selfish enough to think a game should cater to my needs. Many people put a lot of hard work from the design to the programming and producing even marketing. So many people put their heart and soul into this game and even if you can't appreciate it Ou should have the basic human decency to RESPECT it. (Which apparently judging by the cancerous part you don't seem to have)

This is a wonderful game but if you don't like it MOVE ON AND BUY A DIFFERENT GAME. There is an unbelievably large market for games solo or not. Even then if you are so "old school" go back to your N64 and play that. No one is stopping you.

I'm not a modern person. I still listen to my records daily and whenever I can I try to get my hands on older games I have fond memories of. Let's not get me started with my love for classic cars and the good Ol' days. If I could go back in time I would so if you are going to use the old school arguement on me that won't exactly work out well.

I understand wanting single player in a game but "I wish they had single player content to get to know the characters and story ect." You may have had a pleasant conversation here but you litterally exude miserableness and it's a shame to see that kind of attitude here on DA.

First of all that is pretty rude to the people who spent their time working on all of this. Second I can think of a few multiplayer only games that are pretty underwhelming yes, but I can also think of other games that have pointless arbitrary single player. If a single player or a multiplayer mode is removed from a game to strengthen the part people actually care about, is that really a bad thing? What benefit does Overwatch have from having a single player? the story is already being told through different mediums.

I've been gaming since the Atari. I get that debating on the Internet isn't worth is so ill stop here. Agree to disagree, however the important thing is to not be so insulting to people's work. "Cancerous" is not a work that needs used when referring to someone's art work.

I kind of agree with you on single player part cause I myself am fond of them myself. You know Blizzard studios makes mostly multiplayer games. They are good at it so why not? Overwatch is amazing game for it's genre. Luckly there is lot of amazing single player games coming out soon. I can't wait for new Dishonored myself
